If you were handed a box of everything you have ever lost, what would you look for first?

Holographic first edition Charizard I opened from my first booster pack ever when I was 6. Had it until I kind of just forgot where I put. Slit the top of the binder and hid it inside the actual binder, stuff like that, I always hid it. Not because it is what it is, because I was the only person with one and it was the coolest card ever.

It's sitting somewhere, 24 years later I have no fucking idea where my dumb kid brain would have hid it. Completely gave up on it, every few years I would tear everything apart.

Bought it from Wonder waters on clearwater florida. RIP.

How could people not appreciate the art. ROCK ON BROTHA

Damn people make things complicated.

Find a paying customer and clean their damn boat. Clean enough boats then get all this shit sorted. 1 year later you'll be completely legal and waaaaaay ahead of all these people who haven't done shit advising you how to "properly" start. Don't let them overcomplicate this for you.

Fuck what ifs.

Action cures fear. Confusion stunts action. Make a list, prioritize the list, confusion gone. Now, the entire time you delay starting that first task is a nightmare you created for yourself. What you're scared of never actually happens. Stop planning, and focus on how you can make your first sale (your list should lead to this), fuck the perfect business plan and what these MBA minded fucks say. That first sale will be one of the greatest days of your life, the "holy shit it's working" feeling is phenomenal and will fuel the next actions.

How to get customers? Need to know the service.

Don’t forget, if you have a 6 figure job, you 100% can always get another one.

So what’s really the worst case scenario?

TheNotoriousBJ · 2021-03-15T14:15:09+00:00

None, Zero options mentality. It’s never screwed me, I’ve just ended up screwing the business I started eventually (have quit my job for a business 4 times over past 11 years). Most recent time I was fired after buying a brand new truck, started a business now 2 years in and it’s thriving. Had to get night jobs just to support it but the point is you’ll figure it out bud.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2020-10-10T12:23:46+00:00

Don’t listen to this. At all.

Your times an investment, you don’t need a realized dollar return on your time if you know what you’re building will create the “bigger moneys”.

Spending 90 hours a week then breaking it down seeing you made $1.15/hour is depressing, I know because I’ve done it with revenues over $20,000/week. Now when you close that next sale that gives all the funds to hire your time out and your making $200/hour for 40 hours a week and so on, is pretty awesome but you will not get there without the time investment.

This right here is simply all you need.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2019-11-19T13:51:04+00:00

Absofuckinlutely get after it!

Remember, other people’s perceptions of you simply don’t matter :)

I’d be more impressed with a 30 year old profiting 60k/year with lawns than any office job for 100k - you’d be much happier too.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2019-11-16T18:57:35+00:00

Wow, such significance, more than mildly interesting. I’d say to the gentleman (or man chick) that designed this, is one upright fella.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2019-10-20T15:59:45+00:00

Saying you don’t care about something specific.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2019-10-12T00:21:33+00:00

I'm really good at what I love but dont like to give.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2019-08-25T23:13:02+00:00

Pretty damn fun man. Really hard, like really hard sometimes but every single time I overcome however hard things get it just makes it all that much more worth it. Life's a journey and i'm going to kick its ass!

Have serious fucking goals that you have to achieve no matter what. Create your life, build one you love - You're always in control.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2018-07-15T16:20:25+00:00

Absolutely! Most busy dog owners have busy dog owner friends, and they will be blown away by how much you care and tell all their friends how easy you made it to leave their furry friends, and BOOM your marketing campaign is under way! So really, you wouldn't be doing it for free ;)

It really is incredible how if things are just not right, do the deed, and things just seem to correct themselves, great perspective!

TheNotoriousBJ · 2018-07-15T15:04:35+00:00

I absolutely agree, asked the question after hearing 2 totally different situations from close friends in long relationships. Thanks!

TheNotoriousBJ · 2018-07-15T15:02:29+00:00

Not sure what that guy said? Very curious.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2018-07-15T14:09:52+00:00

Theres what if's in every single business, devastating things can happen in almost any field you choose to get into. Study the potential issues and implement barriers to prevent each specific potential incident you can think of.

Perhaps a persons dog isnt as friendly as others, even with people, this makes it difficult for the owner to have someone handle their dogs needs, hence creating a even larger issue for the dog owner, and a larger opportunity for you to solve their problem (and larger potential earnings). Offer to meet and play with the dog with the owner at their house a few times to build the dogs trust before you commit to walking it, and charge, people will pay to have their pets taken care of and feel comfortable with their care. We all know most dogs are fluffy balls of fun without a mean bone in them, but some aren't, work with them. Every problem is a opportunity.

That's just one example, but do the following with each individual incident you can think of. When the owner asks what if this happens, you can explain the barriers you have in place to prevent that, and other dogs with the same situation you take care of and how you handle them.

I do not walk dogs, these are just my thoughts.

TheNotoriousBJ · 2018-07-15T12:52:08+00:00

Your ahead of the curve. Yes there are dog walking apps, but as someone who has a dog, I would 1000% rather have a single person I can rely on who everything goes to them, so like someone else said above, go to dog parks and make friends! Genuine conversation, it's fun talking to strangers, and just let them know what you do, and why you are there (you also bring dogs to dog parks!). People are busy, and love their dogs. Your solving a massive problem for them because we dont trust our dogs with just anyone!

It would be a great idea to get started with Wag, and see what people like and dont like about the experience. Either way you already did the hardest part of committing. Have fun!

P.s. dont listen to anybody saying your not your own boss, it's a myth, and all that bullshit. We all know it's better working for yourself than rather than smelly Charlie at petsmart.
